I don’t know how to help you read.
You sound like a demagog who feels attacked when faced with facts or genuine issues. Advocating for improvements to the technology isn’t being anti-EV or even anti-battery. LOL. #faceplam&sigh
Batteries are over 90% recyclable. They’re actually pretty environmentally friendly after the first round.
But theyre not recycled much–YET.
Agree and excitedly look forward to growth in that market (or even having a market for it). They will eventually become a profitable recycling opportunity. Unless one of the other battery techs (tons of them) in development just completely supplanted them. Either way the impact should diminish over time. Main questions are how fast and long will they continue to be an environmental negative.

EDIT: You can read further down how close some of these companies are to an actual recycling center. They’re getting there!
Here’s the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:
Battery recycling is a recycling activity that aims to reduce the number of batteries being disposed as municipal solid waste. Batteries contain a number of heavy metals and toxic chemicals and disposing of them by the same process as regular household waste has raised concerns over soil contamination and water pollution.
